Great classic remade very nicely, but BOILS your computer
I have been a rabid adventure game fan since the earliest graphic-based examples of the genre, and anyone who has been into adventure games for that long knows how and why Monkey Island series is considered among the best examples of the genre ever. This game is probably my fav. Monkey Island game, and it is beautifully remade BUT it makes my MBA (2012), which otherwise never has heating issues even when working on Photoshop, BURN like a kettle,so much so that I cannot hold it with my bare hand. and if running on battery, lose the entire charge in 1-2 hours (as opposed to the ~5 hrs..)
I am not worried about the 9.99 i spent, but worried that i cannot recommend this beautiful rendition of the classic to any of my friends, since I cannot risk my valuable computer for just one game, and neither should anyone.
Really wanting to play this game, I researched all over the internet for other people having the same issue and possible solutions. I found out that the terrible heating problem is also present for various generations of MacBook Pros as well, and for many other MBA users other than me, and noone seems to be able to offer a solution.
It is very irresponsible of the company to keep selling this clearly faulty app., and not bothering with an update that would fix the heating issue, even though people have been complaining about it since the games release, really guys, what have you been up to for the last 1,5 years?
